This land of plenty
has plenty who starve each day
in plenty of pain
while some are filled with plenty
of themselves and their disdain

Sunshine, so divine
Frigid winter’s sparkling sign
Like a God, you’re there
Giving warmth for all to share
In your light, the world will shine
Self-lived rules
worn as if jewels
can slap you in the face
threatening a sure-stepped pace
when outside interference
challenges unchallenged adherence
Presented with a never-seen view
and all its terms to come to
your world is forever changed
simply by a thought pattern, rearranged
Then, life-long rules
may free-handedly paint you a fool
When the world stings
attach and tightly cling
to the strings of the little things
They’ll help take away the sting
Some moments
take my breath away
in a way
that’s so okay
But some days
take my breath away
and the way
is not okay
like today
Don’t want to be a chicken in a coop
while a tiny patch of sunlight moves by
but I know that gravity can hold things down
and how I wasn’t built for the sky
So, instead of pecking at dreams on the ground
I’ll just raise them up really, really high
give a great big push of the belief in my mind
then smile, as they grow wings
and never have to die
If you make a life choice
based solely
on the happiness
it will bring
be also prepared
for the delusion
For to know
what joy is
you must also
have to meet sorrow
Being resolute
in your purpose
does not guarantee
everlasting peace
For not only
will you often rejoice
with total abandon
you will also suffer most
because of that which
is closest in mind
and dearest
to your heart
